I have recently noticed that my mentality keep repairing when on gaming worlds. So let's get this straight, for me it's usually a bit of an open-world wander or something turn-based when things feel overwhelming. There's this odd satisfaction in chipping away at small goals that suddenly makes the bigger real-life mess seem less impossible. I've caught myself handling work deadlines with a steadier mindset after a decent session too, like the constant decision-making in-game rubs off a little. Considering this i started o search more about
The Benefits of Gaming for Your Mental Health. It's not preachy or anything, just lays out some thoughts I've nodded along to myself over the years. Still think it's mostly about finding the right sort of game that doesn't wind you up more.
